Why is Chappell Roan able to debut a song #1 on the Hot 100 this year, but Drake can’t?

It's not bots that were removed. It's streams on songs which their system flags as suspicious.

She hasn't yet?

You know what I mean 😭😭

I don't? Her last single also debuted high on Spotify with similar numbers but ended up debuting at #5 on the Hot 100. I hope her latest single performs better but that's still left to be seen.

The official term is "artificial streams". Which by definition does include bots.

You're really the dumbest piece of s***

This idiot just keeps lying and Drake fans continue to eat it up

They just have to make something up that they can win honestly

R Kelly had video footage of him pissing on a minor and there were still people (and are) singing his praises man

Kanye just had a year long Nazi meltdown and people are still streaming him

There comes a point in some artists’ careers where they’re too big to fail let alone get their career “ended”

This is a stretch.

The Giver debuted at #4 on US Spotify with 3.0M streams.

The Subway debuted at #1 with 3.9M streams, an increase of 30%.

In comparison, What Did I Miss? debuted at #1 on US Spotify with 1.3M streams, and Which One debuted at #2 with 1.5M streams, an increase of only 15%.

It’s a very valid question to ask why Chappell Roan singles are more than doubling the performance of Drake singles right now

They'll never let that conspiracy go despite all evidence proving otherwise. It's sad af really

No

its real

He has a proper source

History is gonna look back on this year and people are gonna think this album was inescapable, whole time I still haven’t heard a single song from it. Culture really is fragmented nowadays

It always was lowkey. Garth Brooks has 9 diamond albums. I dont know if anyone I know personally around my age bracket can name even one song

a 40 year old asian loser who goes by “grand wizard chat nigga” and uses “poo tingz” as a source is the biggest propagandist for drake and we’re supposed to take them seriously

This is legit sad. I'm serious

Genuinely no different than how MAGA niggas were denying the election results

This.

Garth Brooks got absolutely NO airplay outside of Country radio.....but the numbers will make you think he was as inescapable as MJ, Madonna or Prince. That was definitely not the case. Lol

Spot on. But they call you crazy when you call it out

The giver peaked at #37 on apple music, the subway is already #6 and rising

And 2.5 million streams more on global spotify aren't "similar numbers"

Congratulations for memorizing The Giver's peak on Apple Music, I guess?

I just checked now and I was right — both songs debuted with 3M+ US streams on Spotify. The only reason why The Giver didn't peak higher on Spotify was because Playboi Carti dropped his album on the same day and that took away some traffic, engagement and attention from the song.

Regardless of its strong start, to debut at #1, The Subway will have to remain stable on Spotify and keep gaining on Apple Music. Justin Bieber had a similar strong start on Spotify and an even stronger start on Apple Music with Daisies and he still didn't debut at #1 (and that was with Daisies getting substantial pop airplay in its first week). It's also worth noting that Ordinary is now slowly gaining points weekly thanks to substantial radio gains.

I'd love to see The Subway debut at #1, if only to knock off Ordinary and shake up the top of the charts but it'll need massive streaming + substantial sales numbers to pull it off. Those are just the facts.

she deadass said it wasn’t the bots that were removed

it was the irregular plays (that come from bots) that were removed

you deadass can’t ever be right with these folks and they can’t ever be wrong. they will find any way to twist the words into a win for them or just say “okay” when they lose

it’s deadass like dealing with MAGA

f***ing grown children who can’t admit when they’re wrong
